hi,

I want to create filter by field name.

I have the csv file as following, and pushing into elasticsearch with logstash.

field1,field2,field3,field4,field5  
001,10000,20000,30000,40000  
002,10001,20001,30001,40001  
003,10002,20002,30002,40002  
004,10003,20003,30003,40003  
005,10004,20004,30004,40004

- first line is header line

In making visualization and dashboard, for example, I want to create filtering by specific field.

@yosukew,

could you describe a little bit more what you describe with "filter by field name"?

Have you looked at this: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/field-filter.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/field-filter.html)? Filters added to the filter-bar, will also apply to visualizations and dashboards.

Thank you for your reply.

I had looked at the link that you showed.

With this method, I can only create a filter, for example "field 2: 10000".

I want to create the filter that displays all datas in field2.

From the original data ,

field1,field2,field3,field4,field5  
001,10000,20000,30000,40000  
002,10001,20001,30001,40001  
003,10002,20002,30002,40002  
004,10003,20003,30003,40003  
005,10004,20004,30004,40004

I want to display in visualization as following,

field2  
10000  
10001  
10002  
10003  
10004
